Commit 86cdd2fdc4e3 ("kheaders: make headers archive reproducible")
introduced a number of options specific to GNU tar to the `tar`
invocation in `gen_kheaders.sh` script. This causes the script to fail
to work on systems where `tar` is not GNU tar. This can occur e.g.
on recent Gentoo Linux installations that support using bsdtar from
libarchive instead.

Add a `TAR` make variable to make it possible to override the tar
executable used, e.g. by specifying:

  make TAR=gtar

<title>kheaders: rebuild kheaders_data.tar.xz when KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP is changed</title>

This problem is similar to commit 7f8256ae0efb ("initramfs: Encode
dependency on KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP"): kernel/gen_kheaders.sh has an
internal dependency on KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP that is not exposed to
make, so changing KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP will not trigger a rebuild
of the archive.

Move $(KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP) to the Makefile so that is is recorded
in the *.cmd file.

<title>kheaders: rebuild kheaders_data.tar.xz when a file is modified within a minute</title>

<id>626c54af35764b0b8a4ed5c446458ba6ddfe9cc8</id>
<content type='text'>
When a header file is changed, kernel/gen_kheaders.sh may fail to update
kernel/kheaders_data.tar.xz.

[steps to reproduce]

[1] Build kernel/kheaders_data.tar.xz

  $ make -j$(nproc) kernel/kheaders.o
    DESCEND objtool
    INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
    CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
    CHK     kernel/kheaders_data.tar.xz
    GEN     kernel/kheaders_data.tar.xz
    CC      kernel/kheaders.o

[2] Modify a header without changing the file size

  $ sed -i s/0xdeadbeef/0xfeedbeef/ include/linux/elfnote.h

[3] Rebuild kernel/kheaders_data.tar.xz

  $ make -j$(nproc) kernel/kheaders.o
    DESCEND objtool
    INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
    CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
    CHK     kernel/kheaders_data.tar.xz

kernel/kheaders_data.tar.xz is not updated if steps [1] - [3] are run
within the same minute.

The headers_md5 variable stores the MD5 hash of the 'ls -l' output
for all header files. This hash value is used to determine whether
kheaders_data.tar.xz needs to be rebuilt. However, 'ls -l' prints the
modification times with minute-level granularity. If a file is modified
within the same minute and its size remains the same, the MD5 hash does
not change.

To reliably detect file modifications, this commit rewrites
kernel/gen_kheaders.sh to output header dependencies to
kernel/.kheaders_data.tar.xz.cmd. Then, Make compares the timestamps
and reruns kernel/gen_kheaders.sh when necessary. This is the standard
mechanism used by Make and Kbuild.

<title>Revert "kheaders: Ignore silly-rename files"</title>

This reverts commit 973b710b8821c3401ad7a25360c89e94b26884ac.

As I mentioned in the review [1], I do not believe this was the correct
fix.

Commit 41a00051283e ("kheaders: prevent `find` from seeing perl temp
files") addressed the root cause of the issue. I asked David to test
it but received no response.

Commit 973b710b8821 ("kheaders: Ignore silly-rename files") merely
worked around the issue by excluding such files, rather than preventing
their creation.

I have reverted the latter commit, hoping the issue has already been
resolved by the former. If the silly-rename files come back, I will
restore this change (or preferably, investigate the root cause).

<title>kheaders: prevent `find` from seeing perl temp files</title>

<id>41a00051283e301f7e0009626ddf591542e30161</id>
<content type='text'>
Symptom:

The command

    find ... | xargs ... perl -i

occasionally triggers error messages like the following, with the build
still succeeding:

    Can't open &lt;redacted&gt;/kernel/.tmp_dir/include/dt-bindings/clock/XXNX4nW9: No such file or directory.

Analysis:

With strace, the root cause has been identified to be `perl -i` creating
temporary files inside ${tmpdir}, which causes `find` to see the
temporary files and emit the names. `find` is likely implemented with
readdir. POSIX `readdir` says:

    If a file is removed from or added to the directory after the most
    recent call to opendir() or rewinddir(), whether a subsequent call
    to readdir() returns an entry for that file is unspecified.

So if the libc that `find` links against choose to return that entry
in readdir(), a possible sequence of events is the following:

1. find emits foo.h
2. xargs executes `perl -i foo.h`
3. perl (pid=100) creates temporary file `XXXXXXXX`
4. find sees file `XXXXXXXX` and emit it
5. PID 100 exits, cleaning up the temporary file `XXXXXXXX`
6. xargs executes `perl -i XXXXXXXX`
7. perl (pid=200) tries to read the file, but it doesn't exist any more.

... triggering the error message.

One can reproduce the bug with the following command (assuming PWD
contains the list of headers in kheaders.tar.xz)

    for i in $(seq 100); do
        find -type f -print0 |
            xargs -0 -P8 -n1 perl -pi -e 'BEGIN {undef $/;}; s/\/\*((?!SPDX).)*?\*\///smg;';
    done

With a `find` linking against musl libc, the error message is emitted
6/100 times.

The fix:

This change stores the results of `find` before feeding them into xargs.
find and xargs will no longer be able to see temporary files that perl
creates after this change.

<title>kheaders: use 'tar' instead of 'cpio' for copying files</title>
<updated>2025-01-10T14:01:22+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Masahiro Yamada</name>
<email>masahiroy@kernel.org</email>
</author>
<published>2024-12-18T10:37:08+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=82a1978d0fdc28e561bc4d98ea155dd322f33c19'/>
<id>82a1978d0fdc28e561bc4d98ea155dd322f33c19</id>
<content type='text'>
The 'cpio' command is used solely for copying header files to the
temporary directory. However, there is no strong reason to use 'cpio'
for this purpose. For example, scripts/package/install-extmod-build
uses the 'tar' command to copy files.

This commit replaces the use of 'cpio' with 'tar' because 'tar' is
already used in this script to generate kheaders_data.tar.xz anyway.

Performance-wide, there is no significant difference between 'cpio'
and 'tar'.

[Before]

  $ rm -fr kheaders; mkdir kheaders
  $ time sh -c '
  for f in include arch/x86/include
  do
          find "$f" -name "*.h"
  done | cpio --quiet -pd kheaders
  '
  real    0m0.148s
  user    0m0.021s
  sys     0m0.140s

[After]

  $ rm -fr kheaders; mkdir kheaders
  $ time sh -c '
  for f in include arch/x86/include
  do
          find "$f" -name "*.h"
  done | tar -c -f - -T - | tar -xf - -C kheaders
  '
  real    0m0.098s
  user    0m0.024s
  sys     0m0.131s

Revert commit 69ef0920bdd3 ("Docs: Add cpio requirement to changes.rst")
because 'cpio' is not used anywhere else during the kernel build.
Please note that the built-in initramfs is created by the in-tree tool,
usr/gen_init_cpio, so it does not rely on the external 'cpio' command
at all.

Remove 'cpio' from the package build dependencies as well.

The 'cpio' command is used solely for copying header files to the
temporary directory. However, there is no strong reason to use 'cpio'
for this purpose. For example, scripts/package/install-extmod-build
uses the 'tar' command to copy files.

This commit replaces the use of 'cpio' with 'tar' because 'tar' is
already used in this script to generate kheaders_data.tar.xz anyway.

Performance-wide, there is no significant difference between 'cpio'
and 'tar'.

[Before]

  $ rm -fr kheaders; mkdir kheaders
  $ time sh -c '
  for f in include arch/x86/include
  do
          find "$f" -name "*.h"
  done | cpio --quiet -pd kheaders
  '
  real    0m0.148s
  user    0m0.021s
  sys     0m0.140s

[After]

  $ rm -fr kheaders; mkdir kheaders
  $ time sh -c '
  for f in include arch/x86/include
  do
          find "$f" -name "*.h"
  done | tar -c -f - -T - | tar -xf - -C kheaders
  '
  real    0m0.098s
  user    0m0.024s
  sys     0m0.131s

Revert commit 69ef0920bdd3 ("Docs: Add cpio requirement to changes.rst")
because 'cpio' is not used anywhere else during the kernel build.
Please note that the built-in initramfs is created by the in-tree tool,
usr/gen_init_cpio, so it does not rely on the external 'cpio' command
at all.

Remove 'cpio' from the package build dependencies as well.

The next commit will get rid of the use of 'cpio' command, as there is
no strong reason to use it just for copying files.

Before that, this commit renames the 'cpio_dir' variable to 'tmpdir'.

No functional changes are intended.

Exclude include/generated/{utsversion.h,autoconf.h} by using the -path
option to reduce the cost of forking new processes.
